Impact strategy support.

We provide end-to-end support for philanthropic organisations that are looking to evolve their approach and strengthen their impact. This support includes:

• Developing a theory of philanthropy.

• Designing and delivering research to inform philanthropic strategy.

• Developing funding strategies that are designed to deliver targeted outcomes (see further below).

• Designing funding policies and grantmaking processes, including development of assessment tools.

• Developing evaluation frameworks and reporting processes/approaches.

• Designing and delivering impact evaluations to understand the outcomes achieved through specific funding programmes or a funder’s overall approach.

Funding frameworks.

A key part of designing impact-focused funding strategy is exploring the breadth of funding approaches that funders can utilise. We work with philanthropic organisation to design a funding programme or suite of funding approaches that provide the best opportunities to deliver on their overall visions for impact. Key funding approaches that we can support your organisation to explore include:

• Application-based contestable grantmaking.

• Strategic or innovation funding.

• Participatory grantmaking, using devolved forms of decision-making.

• Alternative funding models.
